Indulge in Decadence: Festive Cranberry Pomegranate

Today’s Special: Holiday Cranberry Pomegranate Croissant Bread Pudding

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a delightful holiday recipe that will surely impress your guests this season. Combining the tartness of cranberries, the sweetness of pomegranate, and the buttery goodness of croissants, this Cranberry Pomegranate Croissant Bread Pudding is a unique twist on a classic dessert that is perfect for any festive occasion.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• croissants (5, torn into pieces)
• dried cranberries (100g)
• pomegranate arils (1 cup)
• eggs (4)
• milk (500ml)
• sugar (150g)
• vanilla extract (1 tsp)

To bring this dish to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• baking dish
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Next, add the torn croissant pieces, dried cranberries, and pomegranate arils to the bowl, gently stirring to ensure that everything is evenly coated with the egg mixture. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the croissants to soak up the liquid.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the middle.

Once the Cranberry Pomegranate Croissant Bread Pudding is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dessert is best enjoyed warm, either on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This recipe serves 8 and weighs approximately 1600g in total. Each serving is around 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top of the pudding before baking for an extra layer of flavor.
